"Tales of the Road" by Charles N. Crewdson is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century.

Through a series of anecdotes and reflections, the author emphasizes the significance of integrity and relationship-building in the business of sales. The opening of "Tales of the Road" introduces readers to the foundational concepts of salesmanship, as Crewdson asserts that successful salesmen embody qualities such as resilience, quick thinking, and a commitment to fairness.
